The recipient is giving since 6th February 2009 a course entitled Compact quantum groups and their representation categories. The course is about the operator algebraic approach to quantum groups, emphasizing the role of categories in the study of group actions, potential theory and differential geometry.

The course is divided in ten two-hours lectures that will take place every friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the IHP.
